I am trying to convert this banner code to wiki

have tried span links to get rid of icon and have added external images to local settings but can't seem to code this simple example

If you just want to remove the external link icon, you can wrap the link in , like this:

http://stackoverflow.com/

or even

Stack Overflow

[[<span class="plainlinks">http://www.orange.com/images/banners/affbannerlightorange.png</span>|link=https://orange.com/aff.php?aff=1746]]

I am looking for good header footer extension also but will probably need this same code there as well

what am i doing wrong?

Try this:

[http://example.com/link/of/the/banner http://example.com/url/to/the/banner/image.png]

Basically, it's an external link where the text of the link is a URL of an image. That will work only if you enable embedding external images.

On the other hand, the image syntax you provided will work only if you upload the banner image to your wiki:

[[File:Yourbanner.png|link=http://example.com/link/of/the/banner]]
